When I was a boy I used to go
Walking after dark all on my own
Where I was headed was anyone's guess and

You've gotta let it go
You've gotta let it go

I said it's getting late better head home
Got into your car the one that you stole
It's not a confession if I was just messing

You've gotta let it go
You've gotta let it go

Big yellow shell all broken and muddy
You say it's cute but you think it's ugly
Big yellow shell all fucked up and haunted
You say you don't but baby, maybe you want this?

You've gotta let it go
You've gotta let it go
You've gotta let it go
You've gotta let it go
